For the Batter:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Brown Butter Topping:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. **Preheat Your Oven**: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and set it aside.

2. **Prepare the Blackberries**: In a bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

3. **Make the Batter**: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted butter until fully combined.

4. **Pour Batter Over Berries**: Carefully pour the batter over the blackberry mixture in the baking dish. Spread it evenly to cover the berries.

5. **Prepare the Brown Butter Topping**: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

6. **Drizzle Brown Butter Topping**: Pour the brown butter topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

7. **Bake**: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

8. **Cool and Serve**: Once done, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
